Koning op de Dam plot

A year in the life of hospitality tycoon and 'Dragons' Den' millionaire Won Yip. Every morning, when everyone is still asleep, he descends, deep under the Dam, to his 'bunker', to run his empire from there. With his sister Anine and his brother Johnny, his regulator, beside him. In this smoke-filled cellar with flashing fluorescent tubes, the drama unfolds behind the facade of this successful entrepreneur. Here he has been working for thirty years, feverishly, devoid of sunlight. The viewer witnesses his directive way of doing business. Won won't take no and stole a penthouse right in front of Brad Pitt. It is becoming increasingly clear that his desire for control can be traced back to a Chinese family tragedy.

Won Yip is nicknamed Mr. Dam square. Logical, because he owns all catering establishments on Dam Square. Then you are someone and in this documentary we learn more about the work ethic and motivation of one of the most successful business people in our country. Hard work and trying to make a dime out of every penny is something that he, but also his sister and brothers, are born with and that certainly did not go smoothly. Won Yip dares to be himself in front of the camera, but also clearly shows where his limits lie. Just like in his business contacts. His sister Anine, with whom he spends long days in his famous 'bunker', under one of his cafes on Dam Square, goes into more detail about the family history that reveals a lot about the drive of the Yip family to keep their fortunes away. expand, helped by home videos.
